Do you think the prices will continue to drop? I ordered a 3070ti for 970€ and the card is currently sitting in the courrier office. I'm starting to rethink my decision to buy it, 970€ is still too much. I know that nobody can predict the price movements, but I'm still interested to hear your opinions on that.

I still think it will be many (many, many) more months until prices seem reasonable (close to MSRP). The supply is still low. The silicon chip shortage is still crippling production and there isn't currently an end in sight.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if future graphics cards have higher MSRP because consumers have proven they are willing to spend 2x or 3x the current MSRP prices.

I think the prices will dip a little more, and then quickly raise once again.

It will definitely dip but it might take a while

I think they’ll dip down for a bit, but due to the shortage they’ll remain overpriced for a while.

Ever since China banned mining cryptocurrencies Hope's have been really high.

Maybe in a couple months it will come down

Prices can only drop when supplies begin to get better than current demand. 

Call me a pessimist but why should they drop? If everyone in this supply chain is making money all the way down to ebay resellers and the demand hasn’t cooled, where’s the invective to drop prices?

You have a limited pool of people who are able to and are willing to pay the overpriced figure and you can only run so many "shuffles" or "lottos" before people just get tired of companies bundling product that hasn't sold with a card. If we hit that point you will see a moment where retailers and suppliers are forced to start cutting prices or else be saddled with old product as new cards are coming out, do you think any of the R&D has halted on the 4XXX or 7XXX series cards? No one wants to tilt their hand and say "oh well due to lack of supply were going to delay a generation to focus on getting supply into the hands of people who want it" instead it's "well we're just going to call that generation a wash and start moving on to the next unobtainium series of cards".
 

Already seeing local scalping prices starting to fall or cards not selling like they were a few months ago. 

There will always be a demand.

I've been watching the three camels and the prices have consistently gone down over the last week.  A 3080 was $3K a week ago, but is now $2k.  And that's without the LHR 3080s filling up the system yet.  Perhaps by the end of July they will be close to $1K.  I wonder how small the margins have to get for people to shut their bots off...

About tree fiddy...
 
Honestly though there will always be people looking to make a quick buck so you'll see scalping all the way down to $100 over retail.

Lhr cards are dumb anyways.. it splits the supply and doesnt offer any benefit at all. Pretty sure people have already figured out how to get around them with custom bios flashes to still use them for mining

Frankly if there was a way to completely kill hashrate without significantly affecting gaming performance I'm all for it, we desperately need a reprieve from cards being scalped or sold off to miners before they even hit inventory of stores.
